There are two bottles of 10 liter; each completely filled with water. Now 2 persons having empty bottles of 4 liter and 5 liter want to take 2-2 liters of water. You can use only these 4 bottles (10 liter-full, 10 liter-full, 5 liter-empty, 4 liter-empty) to transfer the water. Wasting or throwing of water is not permitted. How can this be done?

There are two jugs each of 4 and 3 liters respectively, without any measuring marks. How many minimum steps are required to have 2 liters of water into the 4 litre jug (the jugs can be filled any number of times with water, and they can be emptied any number of times).
Note: Here we need 2 litre water in 4 litre jug (not in any of the two jugs).

You have 1023 oranges and 10 bags.
You have to distribute these oranges in these 10 bags in any way you choose.
But when I ask for a certain number of oranges you have to give them in terms of bags without transferring the oranges from other bags.
How do you distribute the oranges?
